Private Auction Wednesday 21st March

A residence of importance since the 1870s, subsequently extended when its owner Otto Roemcke became Norwegian Consul General, the story of this majestic Victorian’s past is matched by its modern success as a grand family mansion of un-paralleled scale and style. The balance of classical elegance and current day excellence is evident throughout a series of fabulous spaces set against a north-facing rear garden of significant depth, featuring a solar heated pool. Evocative formal sitting and dining rooms, a substantial study and a billiards room that retains a bespoke John Blogg hand carved fire-place are complemented by light-filled family living/dining areas and a granite kitchen comprehensively equipped with Miele appliances. Up to six bedrooms, a flexible office and three bathrooms define wonderful upstairs dimensions, including a main bedroom with a dressing room and luxurious ensuite while verandah views over Norway Reserve (formerly part of this estate) reflect the romance of this landmark address. Ample parking, a triple carport with Electric Vehicle charging port, sauna, original stables, work-shop and loft add further allure to this illustrious home, moments from Burke Road trams, Camberwell Junction and all the area’s leading schools. Land size 1530sqm (approx.).
